WELCOME
to Mobility Lab
Using APDM’s advanced wearable sensors, Mobility Lab makes it easy to collect,
analyze, and store data. Attach sensors to your research subject, and instruct
them to perform a standardized test. A report is then automatically generated to
compare against normative outcomes.

Information about Opal V2R System
Intended Use Statement
The Opal V2R is a small worn monitor designed for documenting physical movement associated with applications in research and
engineering. The Opal V2R can be used in any instance where quantiable analysis of physical motion is desirable. Intended uses include
motion detection, quantication of motion. quantication of movement, and quantication of human movement. Application uses include
motion research, biomechanics, sports, tness, and animation.
Opal V2R System Description
The Opal V2R System (“Opal System”) is a research-grade system comprised of one or more Opal V2R (“Opal”) wearable sensors, a Docking
Station to recharge the Opal’s battery and transfer the raw sensor data logged to a computer, an Access Point to enable wireless streaming,
adjustable straps for a variety of body locations, and Opal application software (Motion Studio, Mobility Lab, or Moveo Explorer) that
provides functionality for 1) conguring for 1) conguring the Opals, 2) collecting and storing Opal data, 3) analyzing and visualizing the
collected data, and 4) exporting the data in various formats.
Contraindications
Do not apply Opals or the Opal straps to broken or otherwise non-intact skin. Opals and straps should not be used in conjunction with an
MRI. Not a medical device. Medical uses require APDM’s Opal V2C System (FDA Class II Medical Device, CE Class I Medical Device; Rx
Only).
Warnings and Precautions
The Mobility Lab system Opal is a Type B Applied Part, i.e., a part of the system which comes into contact with the patient. The Mobility Lab
system Docking Station, Access Point, USB cables, and Docking Station power supply are not applied parts, and are not intended to come
into contact with the subject. Opals should be cleaned in between subjects. SeeTips section on page 35 for cleaning directions.
Do not open any Mobility Lab hardware enclosures; there are no user serviceable parts inside. The Opals contain a rechargeable lithium ion
battery which is not intended to be replaced by the user.
The Mobility Lab Docking Station should only be powered by the provided 12V 2A center positive power adapter. Do not use other power
adapters with the Docking Station.
The Mobility Lab Docking Station has a spare USB Type A port. Only attach USB peripherals and cables that comply with the USB 2.1
specication. The Mobility Lab system can only be connected to a host computer via the USB Micro-B connector.

The Opal wearable sensor may become warm during use and rise as much as 5 °C (9 °F) above ambient temperature. At the Opal’s maximum
operational temperature of 50 °C (122 °F), the Opal could reach 55 °C (131 °F). Discontinue use if wearing the sensor becomes uncomfortable.
The Mobility Lab system is designed to be stored and transported in a standard indoor environment: a temperature of +10° C (50 °F)
without relative humidity control and +50° C (122 °F) at relative humidity up to 93% non-condensing.
The Opals are designed to be operated in either an indoor or outdoor environment, with an operating temperature of -10 to +50 °C (14
to 122 °F), 0 to 100% relative humidity, and an atmospheric pressure of 64.4 to 106.6 kPa. Opals are rated water resistant up to IP64,
but are not waterproof. Do not submerge Opals in water.
The Access Point and Docking Station are designed to be stored, operated and transported in a standard indoor environment: a
temperature of 0 to 30 °C (32 to 86°F), 0 to 100% relative humidity, and an atmospheric pressure of 80 to 106.6 kPa (at an altitude of
less than 2000 m). The Access Point and Docking Station are not water resistant or waterproof.
Do not unplug the Access Point when in use during testing; this may result in lost data. If using a laptop, always make sure that your
laptop is plugged into a power outlet when testing during test mode. A low battery during a test session may cause the test data to be
lost. It is recommended that you backup your Mobility Lab database before upgrading or uninstalling the software.
You must dispose of this product properly according to local laws and regulations. Because this product contains electronic components,
it must be disposed of separately from household waste. When this product reaches its end of life, contact local authorities to learn
about disposal and recycling options, or simply return it to APDM. For more information, please visit community.apdm.com.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for medical devices to the IEC 60601-1-2 standard. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference with other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference with other devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
●
• Configure the system to use a different radio frequency.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving device.
● • Increase the separation between the equipment.
● • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the other device(s) are connected.
● • Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.

Information Security for Computers running Mobility Lab
The Mobility Lab database may contain private or personal Protected Health Information (PHI). While Mobility Lab accommodates the
need to protect PHI, the database itself is not secured or encrypted by Mobility Lab. Instead, you should secure access to the database
using your operating system’s built in security features. Always follow information security best practices on the Mobility Lab computer,
including:
● • Use separate user and admin accounts
● • Use strong passwords
● • Lock the computer after a few minutes of inactivity
● • Control physical access to your computer
● • Keep your operating system and Mobility Lab software up-to-date
● • Back up your computer regularly and store your backups securely
● • Use your operating system’s built-in strong disk-level encryption
If your Mobility Lab system is online, use internet security software to prevent malware infections. Mobility Lab uses SSL to secure any
communication with APDM servers that might contain personal information, and no PHI is collected without your consent. Any
information on APDM servers is securely maintained.
